Cadillac is expanding its electric portfolio with its most important asset.
While we assume the Escalade IQ will use the Ultium battery architecture, it’s hard to say how far Cadillac will take it. But as a three-row SUV, the Escalade IQ will have a large floorpan, which means lots of rooms for batteries underneath. So count on this new EV to be extremely heavy and to use at least two motors when it debuts later this year.
When Cadillac begins producing the Escalade IQ, it will be curious to see how quickly the all-electric full-size SUV leaves the factory gates. Beyond the, which is being discontinued, General Motors has struggled to sell its Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EVs at any real volume. So far this year, GMC has sold a measly nine Hummer pickups and not a single Hummer SUV. Meanwhile, Cadillac’s Lyriq has been slow-moving as well, with 1402 examples sold so far this year. That at least shows the production lag being addressed for Lyriq, but that volume trails behind other similar EVs such as the VW ID.4 and Ford Mustang Mach-E , according to Wards Intelligence data., which has sold 3100 examples this year through April.
